Spring 2015
Through the remainder of this week and the weekend, we remain in the battle between Azores high pressure which will dominate the Southern UK and Icelandic low pressure which will influence Northern Ireland and Scotland. Winds will begin easing through today as heights build and with building heights, temps will gradually climb with low 20s […]
As forecast right here on markvoganweather.com, May is turning out to be a cool and wet month with the BBC and Met Office now confirming this. Impressively, Cardiff has seen 125mm of rain through the first 18 days. Their average is just 72mm and keep in mind that’s we’ve over 12 days remaining of May! The […]
A taste of every season continues to rule even into May’s 3rd week all thanks to one spring-like system. Snow in the Dakotas followed by sub-freezing temps tonight. In the warm sector and along the cold front there’s tornado baring severe weather as well as further flash flooding. On the East Coast, temps are rocketing well into the […]
So far so good with regards to my overall forecast for the summer. In case you’ve forgotten, it’s very near here and it doesn’t feel like it that’s for sure. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] It’s been a miserable open to the new working week for many but this ‘wetter pattern’ is now well established with soils recovering well following […]
This focus in recent days has been the severe weather and drought busting rains on the Southern/Central Plains as well as the summer warmth in the Midwest/East. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] However, change is on the way as we progress through this week as an unusually cool Canadian high descends over the Great Lakes and eventually covers the Eastern US […]
Little change in overall thinking, May looks likely to go out on a cool and continued unsettled theme and I expect this to take us into June with a cool, disappointing open to summer 2015. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] The Icelandic high (opposite of winter) shall rule at least the next 7 days or longer keeping the UK and western […]
Our current pattern remains very zonal (westerly) with a distinct north-south divide with cool, blustery showers over Northern Ireland/Scotland whiles always drier, brighter and warmer the further south you go. However change is on the way. That change will be in the form of ‘direction in which our Atlantic lows come in from’. Unfortunately we’re not going […]
While LA and San Diego have both dealt with record rainfall over the last 36 hours, it’s back to winter in the surrounding mountains, all thanks to an unusually late Alaska origin low which has swept directly over Southern California. Parts of San Diego were under water last night having recorded a 1.63 inches of rain. That’s the greatest […]
In yesterday’s post I touched on the chilly winds blowing over the UK with the added kick due to a rather cold (1-3C below normal) North Atlantic. I also briefly touched on the prospects of a turn to much colder next week. This looks legit and could support some unusually low daytime temps (5-12C) as a deep trough settles […]
The anomalous Southwest upper trough continues to support cool temps and unseasonable precipitation across California and the Desert Southwest but this will join forces with storm and rain cooled air over the Plains. Eventually, towards the 7-10 day period, cooler than normal air should return to the East where summer warmth has had temps near 90 from DC […]
